debootstrap: lack of devuan support (#41) · Issues · Devuan project / devuan-project

@hellekin : can you please provide more context??

The release "Codename" in http://packages.devuan.org/devuan/dists/stable/Release is set to "jessie"
Our debootstrap package does set $MIRROR to http://packages.devuan.org/devuan

No it's not:

wget -q -O- http://packages.devuan.org/devuan/dists/stable/Release | head
Origin: Devuan
Label: 1.0

Matching onSuiteinstead ofCodenameI get:

Thats because your using the /devuan repo and not /merged which is correct!

wget -q -O- http://packages.devuan.org/merged/dists/stable/Release | head
Origin: Devuan
Label: Devuan
Suite: stable
Version: 1.0

Description: Devuan 1.0 Jessie (unreleased yet)

OK works withhttp://packages.devuan.org/merged.

/devuanonly contains information about Devuan-specific packages. The full repository is accessible via/merged.

Nowlxcstill misses a devuan template. Do we have anlxcproject somewhere in the gitlab?

I'm tempted to close this issue unless there's need for an LXC group to address the missing devuan template.

I'd suggest starting with the template mentioned here: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.containers.lxc.general/5102 and modifying it for devuan.

Probably should fork the lxc package.

@hellekin - Can you create a new project "lxc" in devuan-packages and create an issue with the milestone "1.0-rc1 Jessie Release Candidate".

I think it is important to have a good lxc that includes installation templates for Devuan.

Done: devuan-packages/lxc#1

I created an empty package and milestone for now.

Marked the task correctReleasefile to include the release codename as completed

Status changed to closed
